Well I very much enjoy being part of this forum and feel that I have a lot to contribute in both knowledge of ownership for 8.5 years and my knowlege of certain parts which I seem to have a knack of finding.
As I said before, can it ever be a bad thing to have somebody who is a proven good seller being able to find good parts for the forum members which are always in high demand? Surely that is something that actually benefits the forum members.
What is admin's feelings about the possibility of having a frequent sellers account? That would fill the gap between very occasional sellers and full on traders who do that for their living. Personally I am more than willing to contribute to the cost of running the site and feel that a frequent sellers account is a great idea.
Providing a great service for the guys on here is something I get a real kick out of and you will find me on this site probably 40 times a day. I love getting PM's at 2:30 in the morning and answering them to make sure that I get back to somebody asap.
Also I totally agree with the thoughts of the admin team which is to protect the forum members as much as possible from rogue sellers such as Kitaro etc. But the Kitaro and Toytuning situation is a pretty rare and extreme case and I feel that the new rules are a little bit overkill and are preventing the members getting the most they can from this forum. Please correct me if I am wrong but I'm pretty sure that the classified section is the most visited area of this forum. Therefore, the more parts available for members, the better this forum will be.
In summary, in my opinion, the perfect solution to this problem is to have a frequent sellers account which obviously has a higher membership fee and a dedicated feedback area. Obviously if there are any problems this will no doubt be highlighted to admin who can then be there to spot potential problems very early. I don't think there would be many frequent sellers and therefore think that it will not take much policing and will make this forum a much better place. As far as a fee goes, maybe it could be 50-75% of the cost of a full traders account.
